Describe the similarities and differences between the percent proportion and the percent equation.

Percent proportion is just any positive fraction, which, as it was mentioned, can exceed whether the percentage has a fixed denominator, equal to 100. So, although there's no intuitive difference, there is a slight distinction in the mathematical sense. It is also the amount of items in a mixture. Example: two eggs for every two cups of flour.

percent equation is a part of something equals to percent times the whole
part = percent x whole

Example: what is 80% of 20?

n = 80/100 x 20
n= 0.80 x 20
n = 16
So 16 is 80% of 20
part (16) = percent (80%) x whole (20)
n = p x w (variable representation
